Go to Ebay and search for Dell Latitude LS.
They are an ultra light laptop. They weigh about 3 lbs. and are about 10"x12"x1" thick. One nice feature I like is the top is aluminum, not plastic.
They are slower. Most are P3 400-500 with 128-256 RAM with a 6-40GB HDD. The screen is a 12.1" TFT with a native resolution of 1024. One thing to make sure is to check for a cd-rom and/or a floppy because they are external with this model. For what you plan on using it for, it will be almost ideal.
A good refurbished will run about $500.
My roommate bought one, and he is happy with it.
